I came across this video about seeing what other people are experiencing - seeing life from their perspective. Very interesting and moving. Reminds me a bit of the scene in the Bruce Almighty movie I saw with all the voices he hears in his head that are the prayers of the people.
A very daunting task - really seeing what others are experiencing. Overwhelming to be sure. Good news is we don't have to be God - God is God and we are not. God deals with everyone - we just need to do our best with the people around us in our sphere of influence. In this global economy that sphere of influence may include people far away from us - but the decisions are carried out locally as we use our gifts and talents on God's behalf.
Empathy to action... led by the Spirit; Christ at work in us - Colossians 1:28-29.
That's what the Wheat Ridge grants support in many congregations around this country and the world. People see a need and respond.
